The block is 4 1/2" wide and the instructions include measurements for making a 10" block. You could also use two blocks to create a 10" or 12" block. The pattern can be found HERE.

With Spring in the air, one cannot have too many cute shopping totes!!

I decided to use this block to adorn a fun shopping tote. Warning - It is a big one : )

A whopping 15 3/4" x 18 3/4"!!

If you want a smaller bag, just trim off the bottom and you can keep all the other measurements the same. Make sure your quilt block fits the smaller size of the tote and you can see it below the flap.

I added pom pom trim and a border around the block to coordinate.

I love the ruffle top elastic pocket. It is super duper, easy peasy and has a nice clean finish.

Charise, I love this! It's funny actually. I've just been looking for a pattern for a tulip in a pot to make into a cushion for my grandmother for Mother's Day. She's a lifelong gardener whose garden is full of bulbs in spring. This is quite perfect! Thank you so much for sharing with us :)
